Elon Musk issued a curt rebuke of ketamine abuse allegations after a viral clip of his erratic behavior at a dinner recirculated online.

The clip—taken in March during a visit to Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club in New Jersey—shows Musk balancing spoons at a dinner table while one of his baby mamas, Shivon Zilis, watches in silent concern.

At the time, X user and “retired army medic” Molly Ploofkins tweeted the clip with the caption, “Musk playing with his silverware while tripping on ketamine at Bedminster.”

    Or typical Asperger’s behavior. The amount of times I started talking about the thrust-to-weight ratio of jet engines vs rocket engines on a date … You’d think one of the world’s richest men, and technophile, would find some other substance to trip with?

        Price-wise he could get anything he wants. If ketamine has all these side effects, why pick this?

          Most (all?) of the good drugs have side effects. Ketamine actually doesn’t have that many side effects unless you’re overusing and/or using it for a long time.

            I have such a drug as well and far fewer people would gossip about it: alcohol. Many different flavors too.

          Like others have said every drug has side effects. Nature of the best. Ketamine is extremely safe though and almost impossible to OD on.

      Do you ever sit around and try to visualize energy as 4th dimensional geometry?

      This is why I don’t need drugs.
